Openreads
Private and Open Source Books Tracker
Keep track of your books with @openreads a privacy-oriented and open-source Android app written in Flutter.
Organize your books into four categories:
- Finished
- In progress
- For later
- Unfinished
+ Use custom tags and filters
Add books by searching the Open Library, scanning barcodes, or entering details manually

Thanks, I have never used a book tracker, indeed I haven’t read many stuff, but I am intending to… Indeed the “Reddit apocalypse” was one of the major detonators to made me want to achieve this… But a wild Lemmy appeared.
@foss_android @openreads @books This looks really cool, but I always worry about the longevity of things like this. I don’t want to move all my library deets across for it to fold in a year or two. Sorry if that seems disrespectful but I’ve been burned before. Or am I being silly?

Your worries are perfectly fine. I would say that being open source is what makes Openreads so great. The app is licensed as GPLv2 so everyone can use it and modify it forever. Not like other proprietary apps that the second they stop making profit can be closed with no option to migrate to any other service.
I’m waiting for the Bookwyrm integration: https://github.com/mateusz-bak/openreads-android/issues/96
Unfortunately there’s no API in Bookwyrm yet: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785
there’s no API in Bookwyrm yet lol wut? Interesting decision there…
One would think their UI uses an API to connect to the backend…
Heck yeah! Thank you so much! I can keep my data? Yes please
@foss_android @openreads @books lovely app, I’ve been using it for a year now and wouldn’t want to do without it. Useful for adding books on the fly when suggested, rather than writing titles down only to forget them!
